This was a very unconvincing argument.

1. Apple's analogy with nutrition labels was strictly how transparency is a good thing. The food pyramid add-on analogy felt like a straw man argument.

2. The Apple video of someone broadcasting their information to others isn't misinformation. It seems inevitable that these systems will eventually be compromised or exploited. Facebook has gotten in trouble with this a couple times through exploits and people misusing app permissions to capture data.

3. The article honestly read like shilling. They didn't engage the strongest arguments against their position. They made it sound like people's issue with unlimited data collection is strictly due to their misunderstanding of how Facebook does targeted advertising. They even employed a "think of the children" style argument.
